Sift flour, salt, soda, baking powder, and cinnamon into a bowl. Set aside. Cream together shortning and  sugar, then stir in beaten eggs and vanilla. Mix well. Add raisins and buttermilk, then stir in sifted dry ingredients.

I remember as a child when this recipe was made - the quantity was huge. I halved the amounts above from the original card (except raisins: 1 cup raisins for 3 cups flour is a good ratio) and added vanilla. I also added chopped walnuts (because I ❤️ all nuts) and the cookies were soft and delicious.
